FHS considering Pitt College in High School Classes

Mr. Steven Mott had spoken with students currently taking Advanced Placement (AP) classes, and students in Honors Pre-Calculus about offering classes with the University of Pittsburgh rather than offering the four different AP classes in years to come. Students will be able to be taught Pitt classes in either Biology, Chemistry, Calculus or Psychology and can receive college credits rather than AP credits.

Band uniform fundraiser 

At the board meeting on Oct. 13, Ms. Emily Rickard pitched the idea to the school board about a fundraiser to use the old band uniforms.
